Hey everyone! Welcome to my new series... is what I would say if My Princess is over, which it isn't. But if there are more chapters on here, then it is.

So basically, this story is going to be based on Fairy Tail characters, and some characters from the Fate series. If you don't want to be spoiled, I suggest go watch the Fate series now. Anyways, I'm going to tell you about the whole plot device of the Fate series. And that plot device is called the Holy Grail War.

The Holy Grail War is a war between 7 mages. It's essentially a free for all, battle to the death. The last mage standing will win the holy grail. With it, the grail can grant the wish of the last mage standing.

So the war isn't just 7 people killing each other, the 7 mages summon a heroic spirit. A heroic spirit is a famous hero / person from history. They typically have myths of what made them so well known. They can be from both the past and future. A few examples of heroic spirits are Frankenstein's Monster, Achilles, Spartacus, even some like Shakespeare and Joan Of Arc.

When the heroic spirits, or servants, are summoned, they are summoned into one of 7 classes, each with their own specialties and skills. I'll go ahead and list them.

Class: Saber
Attack: S+
Defense: A
Speed: S-
Intelligence: A
Magic: F

Heroic spirits of the Saber class use primarily swords. They are sometimes considered the most powerful of the heroic spirits. They are very strong and pretty fast. However their downside is that they are incapable of using any kind of magic. However they have a small resistance to magic based attacks.

Class: Lancer
Attack: S-
Defense: A
Speed: S+
Intelligence: A
Magic: D

Heroic spirits of the Lancer class use spears or lances. They are very agile and are dangerous to battle when up close or at a slight distance. While it's not much, members of the Lancer class are able to use magic. The magic is never really too strong. Their reaction time is unrivaled to the other spirits.

Class: Archer
Attack: S-
Defense: B
Speed: A
Intelligence: A+
Magic: C

Heroic spirits in the Archer class use bows and arrows. Members of the Archer class tend to fight their foes at a distance, since they tend to not have much in terms of physical protection. They have keen eyesight and can see anything up to a 5 mile radius. The Archer class can use magic, though the magic's power varies depending on the spirit summoned.

Class: Rider
Attack: A
Defense: S-
Speed: S+
Intelligence: A
Magic: B

Heroic spirits of the Rider class use weapons from small swords and lances, to axes and whips. The thing that sets the Rider class apart from the others, is that they always have some kind of mount, making them the fastest heroic spirit. They are able to use magic to boost themselves or even their mounts. They are also capable of taking a good amount of hits.

Class: Assassin
Attack: A
Defense: B
Speed: S-
Intelligence: A
Magic: C

Heroic spirits of the Assassin class use daggers, knives, or anything that can be used to quietly and quickly kill their target. Assassins, though the weakest in terms of power, make up for it by being incredibly stealthy. One of their abilities is that they can sneak up on anyone and not have their presence known, as long as they don't try attacking. If the Assassin class uses magic, it's typically used to conceal them. Some also use poisons and chemical mixtures to fight. They are also very agile. Members of the Assassin class tend to go after the apposing mages, instead of the heroic spirits.

Class: Caster
Attack: A-
Defense: B+
Speed: C
Intelligence: S+
Magic: S+

Heroic spirits of the Caster class don't typically use weapons. Instead, they use magic. They are highly intelligent, being the smartest of all the classes. Their magic power varies from the spirit, but the magic is usually very powerful. I'm terms of magic power, they are easily the strongest.

Class: Berserker
Attack: S+
Defense: S+
Speed: S-
Intelligence: D
Magic: F

Heroic spirits of the Berserker class use weapons like long swords, axes, clubs, maces, and other big and heavy weapons. The Berserker class is easily the physically strongest class. The downside is that they can't use any magic. They also tend to not be able to speak, sometimes saying a few words. They are very durable and is easily the toughest class.

Just like in games, each spirit has their own set of abilities that make them different from one another. These abilities are called Noble Phantasms. Some can be activated at will, and others need certain conditions to be met. These abilities can range from weapons, skills, powerful attacks, creations, and transformations.

Weapons: Some Phantasms are formed as weapons. These weapons tend to have some special effect that makes it deadly.

Skills: Some Phantasms are used as skills, such as fast regeneration, multiple lives, or even terrain based attacks / abilities, such as being able to manipulate the terrain.

Powerful Attacks: Some Phantasms take the form of powerful attacks, such as finishing moves or devastating attacks.

Creations: Some Phantasms take the form of creations, such as golems or man made creatures.

Transformation: Some Phantasms take the form of transformations for the spirit. They tend to give the spirits a boost in power.

Heroic spirits are given a physical form by the grail. However they need a constant supply of mana to sustain their physical form. To show the connection to the mages and the heroic spirits, the mages get a mark on the back of their hand, known as command seals.

These seals are not only for showing the connection, they are what binds the spirits to the physical world. Without them, the spirit disappears. The seals also act as a way to keep the spirit under control. The seals allow the mage to give up to 3 commands to the spirit. Once the command is set, part of the mark disappears and the spirit is forced to carry out that command. Once the last seal is used, the spirit will soon disappear afterwards. The marks can vary between mages

When it comes to the war itself, there are two types.

Holy Grail War: The typical free for all death match between 7 mages and their heroic spirits.

Great Holy Grail War: A battle between two sides, each with 7 mages and their heroic spirits. Once one side has beaten the other, the remaining mages will decide who will get the grail.

For this story, I'll be using the Great Holy Grail War. So it's team Fairy Tail vs another team, which you'll see soon enough.

Anyways! Sorry if I bored you or confused you! I just crammed 7+ series worth of plot built up in about 1,100 words. But this is mainly for all of you who haven't watched the series, so you can still enjoy the story and understand what's happening.

Also, the next chapter of My Princess will be coming out tomorrow, so get ready for that!

If you want, I'd like to know which class of heroic spirit you would want by your side! For me, it would either be Lancer or Assassin.

Okay, it's 1am and I'm sleepy, so goodnight everyone! I hope you enjoy what I have planned!
